SHIHAD - ‘IGNITE’ - THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 20Kiwi rock legends SHIHAD have confirmed September 20 as the release date for their new studio album IGNITE.
The album has been self produced at SHIHAD’s own studios in Melbourne, and is the follow up to 2008’s #1 album BEAUTIFUL MACHINE. IGNITE is their 8th album in their 22 year career.
Three tracks on the album including the current single ‘Lead or Follow’ have been mixed by world class production genius DAVE SARDY – best known for his work with RHCP, Jet, System of a Down, Stone Temple Pilots and Wolfmother.
IGNITE’s first single ‘Sleepeater’ topped the Rock Airplay charts at #1 in New Zealand for five weeks running and captivated all with it’s stunning visual accompaniment www.sleepeater.co.nz
Now, the thundering new single ‘Lead Or Follow’ sees the band return to the harder edge of their classic records and sets the stage for a true SHIHAD-style blistering rock n’ roll rollercoaster! The accompanying video is yet another ‘must see’ from inspired Kiwi video director TIM VAN DAMMEN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXs8Wal1UgU
